A Defeat Bred in Deceit _____________________________________________ lewrockwell.com <<...When Bush decided, prior to September 11, to attack Iraq, he committed himself to lies and deceit. As his British co-conspirators realized, only victory could save them from the consequences. On June 27, General George Casey, US commander of the “multinational coalition” in Iraq, told morning TV audiences that the conflict in Iraq “will not be settled on the battlefield.” On June 26, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told TV audiences that “coalition forces, foreign forces are not going to repress that insurgency.” The insurgency, Rumsfeld said, might “go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years.” These admissions give the lie to Vice President Cheney’s claim that the insurgency is in “its last throes.” Would Congress have let Bush invade Iraq if Congress had known that it would not be a 3-week war but a 12-year war? What kind of fantastic lie or gross incompetence caused a 12-year war to be marketed as a 3-week war? How can any people, no matter how deceived and deluded, support a government capable of such miscalculation or deceit?...>>
